Nice Things Ceramics

Dadeville, AL based small batch pottery studio.

A mother/daughter team

Nice Things Ceramics is a family business led by mother-daughter team Wendy Turner and Ellie Ralston. Based in Dadeville, Alabama, NTC was born out of a passion for kinesthetic artistry, as both women complement each other’s sensibilities in sculpting clay pieces that are uniquely beautiful and timelessly functional. They relish the process of making works of art that become part of people’s everyday lives—and hopefully brighten them as well!

Their response time was so fast, their customer service was friendly, shipping was perfect, they take extra care to properly package delicate items, and I LOVE my mug. It’s unique, beautiful, and the grip has the perfect spot to rest your thumb while sipping your drink. They thought of everything ❤️ thank you!!!"

It’s always a special occasion when I drink tea, hot chocolate, or golden milk from this beautiful cup. Ellie, thank you for your creativity, and for being so gracious, and kind through the process."
